I've had both parents die with lung cancer, and neither smoked pot. One had the kind from asbestos exposure (my dad) and my mom had regular old lung cancer...that after she quit smoking in the 70s and she was a light-weight when she did smoke. Not sure if the 2nd hand smoke got her, the times she did smoke, the fact she worked in the printing industry for 10 years...all I know was it wasn't pot that did it.

I too used to smoke pot, quit in 89. Living in Hawaii for 18 years, it is hard not to smoke some, lol. That shit was so strong though I was one hit and gone for hours so never smoked very much.

I knew a LOT of people over there however that never had lung cancer that smoked a HELL of a lot of pot daily. I tend to believe the studies that show it has a helpful effect against getting cancer.
